Bruce D. Clark directs Erin Moran, Robert Englund and Sid Haig in this cheapo existential Alien rip-off. 

Diverting due to the interesting cult cast (Grace Zabriskie is also in there as an on the edge pilot) and the fact that the shoestring production design was the work of James Cameron… and therefore looks really rather fantastic considering. There are other distractions too; a woman gets raped by a maggot monster, there is quite a believable wider universe hinted at around all the gore and baubles, the ending belongs to an even more ambitious project. All in all, it still is a cheap video nasty cash-in, but one where a bit of accidental creativity bubbles to the top like a foamy by product every ten minutes or so.
